Abstract in brief

  • This study used a network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of seven psychotherapeutic treatments for adult depression, analyzing data from 198 studies with over 15,000 patients.
  • All seven therapies were more effective than a waitlist control, with moderate to large effect sizes, but differences among the therapies were small or negligible.
  • Factors like study size and quality influenced results, with larger and higher-quality studies showing smaller effects; among therapies, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and problem-solving therapy were most consistently effective.
